“Great cottage - really friendly welcome.”

Had everything we needed. If you’re after a week away with the chance of dropping out then this is the place. The closest pub is a 15 minute drive, shop the same distance in the opposite direction. Pack you walking shoes and go!

The property

This pretty cottage is situated in Grimsay, North Uist.

It's a delightful retreat, positioned in a remote location, with vibrant decor and a true home-from-home feel.

This property is ideal for anyone looking to get away-from-it-all; walkers, fishermen and also cyclists can tour the Hebridean Way, appreciating this hidden gem of a location in its entirety.

The soothing lounge is wrapped in soft furnishings and layered with purple tones, a wonderful place to relax morning or night in the company of your loved ones.

There is a country cottage kitchen on hand for those essentials you may need, brought to life by wooden counter-tops and characterful flooring.

When it comes to a peaceful night's sleep, the lovely bedroom is bright and summery, warmly elevated by low lighting from the bedside lamps and a glimpse of colour tied into the layout.

A family bathroom finishes the property, an all-white suite, bringing you somewhere to unwind after an adventure-filled day out and about.

With a circular main road making it easy to take a tour round the island, Grimsay offers an exciting insight into Outer Hebridean life on the edge.

The island is renowned for the quality of the seafood caught off its shores, particularly its lobsters.

Boat trips from Uist Boat Trips are available around Grimsay and the nearby island of Ronay.
